Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S197 2005 GT.If you haven't purchased yet you might go with the 660+ instead.......easier tire to drive on for someone new as they telegraph much better and will be faster.

- 665.0coupe replied to the thread S197 2005 GT.I haven't run the spec tire yet. Since I'm just starting out, I decided to go with Falken RT-615's since they are cheaper and I figured I would be burning though them while learning. (see full post)

Kona replied to the thread Splitter Support Rods?.Absolutely, happy to help! I spent too long scouring marketplace for a Blowfish hook before I found the SVE. Best of luck, I'm in a similar boat, I've got the hook, currently sourcing a new blade. (see full post)-

BECK reacted to Junkyard Dog's post in the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta with Like.Why? I mean, just point the car straight ahead from turn 10b, mash the gas to the floor, and pray you are lined up properly once you get over the hill to turn 11 and can see the racetrack again . . .😆

I've been a sim racing guy for the better part of 25 years, so I know the track layout like the back of my hand. I absolutely understand that isn't a replacement for real world driving, but...

BECK reacted to steveespo's post in the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta with Like.At Ozarks I thought they had instructors but I could be wrong. Thanks for correction Eric.

BECK reacted to steveespo's post in the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta with Like.I am signed up for the event as well. MCA/SAAC events are very fun and welcoming to new comers.
